Oh no.
I just made USB recovery drives for two of my home computers, last week.
Does a recovery drive allow you to save your computer from completely rebuilding it with this particular problem?
I want to go home and try my computer to see if it's okay.
EDIT
Also, sorry to hear about your machine, Kent.
EDIT 2
Found this posted on Microsoft's Forum :
My computer keeps restarting because windows update won't install - Microsoft Community[^]
Root cause defined as: Assuming my theory is right and you guys caught the delta patch problem -- Bottom line Microsoft accidentally pushed the Delta updates to the WSUS channel. If you happen to have caught both, this will bsod a machine.
To anyone reading this from the Neowin post link -- this is NOT as a result of the patch - it is a result of having TWO updates being pushed to the machine at the same time. The Delta patch should not have been placed on WSUS channel and was expired last night.

Yes, a recovery USB is an option to save you from the rebuild.
Still, Win10 must know it's a common scenario - it didn't take that long to rebuild the machine (less installed software). Maybe an hour or so to get a usable machine again.
Thanks for that root cause link. Hopefully it will save others.

Good to know. Less FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt) until I get home. 
Glad the rebuild wasn't too bad for you.

It's a big step towards an actual, working quantum computer. Does it come with a dedicated graphics chip?

No, but it's Lego compatible.

and delivered it to Intel's research partner in the Netherlands, QuTech.
Must be a slow news day if the most interesting thing about that article was that a package got sent half way across the world. And no quantum computing involved!

From the Microsoft Graph to LinkedIn and beyond, Microsoft is betting on a graph database future Yeah, who needs structure?
|
|
|
|

Each node in the graph is an individual, with all his or her profile data.
Yet again Infoworld demonstrates its complete lack of knowledge of how a graph database anything works.
And if you need an explanation, no, each node is not an individual. Yes, some nodes are individuals, but other nodes are other things, profile data, posts, etc. That's why (assuming LinkedIn even uses a graph database, which isn't necessarily a NoSQL database either, more ignorance from Infoworld) its called a graph database, because nodes with different types of data are connected.

Java EE under Eclipse might not be called "Java." Oracle wants to restrict the use of the word in naming the platform, and also the use of "javax" for the standard package of extensions, because of branding intellectual property (IP) concerns. "By any other name would smell as sweet."
To your choice in definition of "sweet"

It smells like popcorn to me.

How many robots does it take to screw in a light bulb? The answer: just one, assuming you're talking about a new robotic gripper developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego. At last! It's been so dark in here!
|
|

|

All of those wires and cables are not going to work very well on a gripper (or end effector as we used to call them) that is supposed to rotate, or twist as it was described. They are going to have to make it work like a human hand where we release our grip, counter rotate, and then rotate some more.

Power cables always seem to be the nemesis preventing the robot takeover, aren't they?

This allows the gripper to operate in low light and low visibility conditions...

Google has removed a malicious extension from its Chrome Web Store that posed as the popular AdBlock Plus ad blocker but forcibly opened new tabs to show ads to users. But did it block ads?
|
|
|
|
|
Quote: In this particular case, it appears that the extension's developer used a different ID than the one used by the original AdBlock Plus extension that may have taken advatange of a homograph attack using Cyrilic characters in the extension's ID to bypass Google's Web Store checks.
And this, kids, is why you apply Unicode normalization to strings that are going to be used as IDs.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.

I find this extraordinarily depressing, browser hosted Excel is a dog, while I like the synch functionality, when I can type faster that the screen updates it is appalling, I'm not a touch typist! I can't imagine what a top flight typist thinks of Word.
Default opening in read only mode and having to reopen the spreadsheet when you turn all features on it really irritating. And the limit of 20mb spreadsheet size is ludicrous, the majority of sheets are all over 20mb so I have to download the sheet to a local drive completely negating any benefits I get from the "cloud".
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity
